Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension BAT Springs, STock SVT Struts

Hey what's up guys? I did a search but didn't come up with too much info. I was thinking of getting the BAT Springs, and using my Stock SVT struts until they start to wear out. I have 38,000 miles on my car. Will the ride be terrible that way? Will the struts not be up to the BAT challenge? TIA

I assume you're talking about the BAT sport springs with the 25mm drop. I just installed those on my car with Koni struts last week. Your SVT struts should be valved 'sporty' enough you could run the BAT springs without a big loss in ride quality. The struts will definately wear out a good deal faster but I think they would be okay. all in all your always better of to replace the struts too with one of a higher bump/rebound spec than stock. HTH.

Do the springs and struts at the same time. It will save you money in the long run. At 38k on the car the struts are probably still good but getting tired and you have to pull them to do the springs anyhow, so you may want to only do it once and be done.

And there is currently a gruop buy on for the BAT euro-handling kit!
